Chapter 339 Safe House
"Half a heart?"
The ghost frowned slightly, his tone puzzled.
Asa quickly gave an explanation.
[Because in Cen Jinyue's memory, the existence with a similar face to yours does not look strong, combined with the form shown by the previous slices, it is inferred that it is a part of the heart. ]
In the copy, except for the partial blood of Master Bai, which looks young due to incomplete display, all the remaining slices are in the state of being adults.
With theoretical support, Asa even thinks it may be less than half a star.
However, Xu Zhiyan and the suspected heart slice did not occupy a large part in Cen Jinyue's memory, and these images alone could not provide accurate information.
[Rather than worrying about your heart, Asa recommends that you check your memory with Mr. Xu first. 】
The ghost nodded and his eyes fell on the busy young man.
The lobby of the safe house was bustling with activity.
Right after Xu Zhiyan finished praising the system, he received a thick sheet of order data. Looking at the record-breaking weapon sales volume, he took the tablet and looked at it intently, immediately getting into work mode.
"Bai Jin, let me arrange the shipping date with Xiao Tianluo first."
He walked towards the small office surrounded by monsters. As if he had thought of something, he took two steps back and stuck his head out from the door after his figure completely disappeared.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The main system in the shell just said that the results of this round are invalid due to the copy."
Throughout the entire round of the game, no player followed the settings of the main system.
Some people were slaughtering, some were slacking off, and some were taking the opportunity to advertise crazily and make money. It was extremely chaotic, not to mention that after the Yin-Yang contract was exposed, the main system received a lot of complaint letters.
Of course Xu Zhiyan was also involved in such a lively event.
"By the way, let Asa write a letter of complaint for me."
"I'm complaining about the main system's poor supervision, harboring bad players who violate the rules, and affecting others' fair competition. As a victim of a yin-yang contract, I demand mental compensation!"
He spoke righteously, as if he had been cheated.
Asa, who was always around the ghost, had a lot of things to do, and subconsciously wanted to push things away.
[Mr. Ghost, I think this matter...]
Because he couldn't see the panel, Xu Zhiyan didn't realize that he was being rejected.
It was too tiring to lean forward, so he simply took a few steps back, stood up straight and continued speaking, his words full of sincere compliments.
"Asa's written document writing ability is the best I've ever seen. To be honest, before I met it, although I expected that advanced AI would be strong in this aspect, I didn't expect it to be so perfect."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyan went to check his accounts without even looking back.
A withdrawal message appeared on Asa's panel, and it quickly modified the content and gave a new reply.
[Mr. Ghost, I will definitely complete the task well. 】
Damn, it somewhat understood why the stupid system was coaxed into dementia. Being sincerely affirmed by others was indeed an irresistible experience.
…
It was night when Xu Zhiyan returned to the safe house. As the Thunder Longbow was 'forced' to start pre-sale, he made a lot of money this time. He kept checking accounts until the early morning. Even when he went to bed at night, he dreamed of lying in a pile of gold coins.
I slept until noon.
All the mental fatigue was swept away.
Last night he told Qu Ji that he wanted to hold a celebration party for the money he made recently to make all the monsters happy.
Glancing at the process sheet already laid out on the table, Xu Zhiyan finally came to his senses.
After a quick wash, he finished his still warm breakfast in two or three bites, glanced at the process sheet, and added some budget.
"Boom boom boom."
There was a knock on the bedroom door.
Xu Zhiyan said without even looking up: "Come in."
There were too many accounts these days, and I thought it was a monster delivering the account books, but as the door of the room was pushed open, a faint smell of ashes filled the air.
"White ember?"
He was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, waving the list in his hand and explaining: "Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday because it was too late. The output of the technology tree has finally paid off. I plan to give everyone a holiday, including the NPCs in the Nightmare District."
Xu Zhiyan is greedy and loves money, but when it comes to treating his employees, he can indeed be considered a good boss.
Since some posts could not be left without people, he asked Qu Ji to extend the vacation. Even though the Nightmare Community already had a very complete rest system, he still asked Qu Ji to arrange a three-day celebration so that everyone would have a chance to rest and have fun, and give out some bonuses by the way.
"I told them they don't need to be too grateful. Only after I have rested well and received the money, can they continue to make money for me, and make more money!"
Xu Zhiyan slapped the list on the table, his eyes full of smiles.
The ghost laughed in silence and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that they will take it seriously if you joke like this?"
It's obviously a good thing, but you have to say it in such a harsh way.
"The people in Nightmare Community are not fools."
Xu Zhiyan answered indifferently.
"You can't judge a person just by what they say, you have to see what they actually do. If the employees of Nightmare Community are the kind of people who lose their minds after being coaxed, then Asa needs to arrange anti-fraud training for them."
Guishen thought about how Asa took on the task with high morale yesterday, and felt fortunate that he didn't bring him here.
On the other side, after Xu Zhiyan finished explaining the miscellaneous matters in the safe house, he looked at his own party A curiously.
"What do you want from me?"
In the past, ghosts and gods spent most of their time in the hall and rarely came here on their own initiative.
Looking at the other person's faint smile, Xu Zhiyan realized belatedly that their relationship seemed to have changed now. It was normal for Bai Jin to come to him?
Some messy thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind. He clenched his hands at his sides, then loosened them. He shrank into the sofa as if nothing had happened, pretending that nothing had happened.
…This is the first time I have a relationship with someone that goes beyond a transaction. I’m anxious as to how I should get along with them.
Perhaps it was because he noticed that Xu Zhiyan was out of work mode and became a little bit at a loss, with a warm color on his earlobes, the ghost did not keep him in suspense and stated his intention directly.
"I came to see you for two reasons this time. The first one is about your past."
The air around him rippled, and several pieces of paper filled with content appeared and slowly fell into Xu Zhiyan's palm.
Seeing his beloved's eyes widen suddenly, Guishen suddenly realized that because Xu Zhiyan was too busy yesterday, he did not explain some things to him in advance...
"I'm sorry for investigating your past without your permission."
He carefully looked at the other person's eyes, and was relieved when he saw Xu Zhiyan's expression gradually relax.
He still remembered that when the other party mentioned "mother", he fell into a rare state of loss, but after knowing that Xu Zhiyan's memory might be false, he couldn't wait to tell him this information.
"It is currently known that your memory may have been tampered with..."
The ghosts and gods tried their best to make their voices sound gentler.
Xu Zhiyan came back to his senses.
He was indeed shocked at first when he saw the information printed with his biographical information, but now he couldn't help laughing when he saw the ghost's cautious face.
If it were someone else, upon discovering that their past memories might have been modified by someone, they would probably only feel fear and anger.
However, Xu Zhiyan remained calm and spoke calmly.
"It would be great if the memory was tampered with."
If those bad past events were all false, does it mean that his life might not have been that bad in the past, and that there were perhaps some relatives who loved him.
But this inexplicable thought only came to my mind for a moment.
"Well, but it's more likely to be worse than before."
For the past.
He never and dared not have any expectations.
When saying these words, Xu Zhiyan's tone was very calm, and even ghosts and gods could not tell whether he was angry or not.
He just sat beside the other person silently, held the person in his arms, and gently kissed the other person's forehead.
"Those things are in the past."
Next, they will have a better future.
Xu Zhiyan chuckled a few times, shook his head and pushed away the ghost, his eyes full of cunning: "Okay, don't put on an expression like you're going to the grave, wait until I die before you cry, okay?"
The master of destroying the atmosphere performs steadily.
Seeing the ghosts and gods were stunned for a moment, he stroked his chin and spoke.
"Come, let's get down to business first. Actually, I always thought that I had a stress reaction after being scared by a dog when I was a child, which led to my incomplete memory. But now that I see this piece of paper, I find that I remember everything on it."
"But there is only a reminder in my mind that 'I did this', but there is no specific content of what I did."
I went to kindergarten at the age of three, elementary school at the age of six, junior high school at the age of twelve, and high school at the age of fifteen...
His memories before high school were a little fuzzy, and he suddenly realized that many of his past memories were without images, completely different from the vivid memories of later times.
Only the last ten years of his memories are real.
This experience is very disjointed.
His brain told him that he had been to these places, but when he tried hard to recall, he could not recall any images.
Fumbling to take out a pen from the table, Xu Zhiyan flipped through the pages of paper, drew a horizontal line at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and circled the previous few time nodes.
"The only scene I remember is visiting my parents' home with my family during the New Year... and being sent there as a pet comfort potion."
The ghost glanced at the contents on the paper.
The information was exactly the same as Asa's previous estimate. The detailed scenes that Xu Zhiyan could remember before the age of fourteen were all in the Xu family's old house.
Xu Zhiyan is a person who never lingers on the past.
The word "looking back" does not exist in his life creed, so after learning that the memory was most likely false, he became more relaxed.
After a long time, he frankly told the ghosts and gods about his memories.
"The Xu family is a large family with numerous businesses under its name. My father is a relatively powerful branch of the family, and he and... my mother are related by marriage."
The contents of the memory are very ups and downs.
"In business, it's normal to make money or lose money."
There was no reason, perhaps it was due to poor management, but the once wealthy family soon went bankrupt, even faster than gambling. He only remembered that when he was very young, his mother took him to the old house of his family and locked him in a dark room with a "dog" in exchange for money.
A lot of the content cannot stand up to close scrutiny.
After Xu Zhiyan said this, he frowned and found the contradiction.
"It's very strange...it seems that something is wrong."
"My goal before was to 'become someone who surpasses my parents', but now that I think about it, I don't think I've come into contact with any outstanding businessmen."
Memory tampering brings confusion.
He seemed to have grasped the end of a thread and quickly pulled out more.
There's more.
As far as I can remember, Xu Zhiyan had never lived a life of lack of food and clothing. If his family was not short of money, then it would be completely unreasonable for him to be sent here by his "mother" to do a deal.
Xu Zhiyan is not stupid.
After learning about the memory tampering, he thought it might be something else that was locked in the black room.
"It seems that the other party wants to erase all my memories."
However, the memories of his stay at the family mansion were too deep to be undone, so the part of his memory that frightened him became a dark content that he could never see again.
"It's most likely not a dog inside, but some monster that eats children, right?"
He frowned and made a bold guess.
"That's not right. In movies, if a monster eats children, shouldn't it eat two at a time, one boy and one girl?"
The ghosts and gods were amused by his wild guesses.
He reached out his hand again, took Xu Zhiyan into his arms, rested his forehead on the young man's shoulder, and spoke the answer in a hoarse voice.
“That’s part of me.”
"Probably the heart."
Feeling the beloved in his arms stiffen for a moment, the ghost laughed softly and changed the subject.
"Cen Jinyue has not been to Xu's house many times. The information you provided is completely consistent. Next, we have to wait for Asa's integration and analysis. According to the current information, the mimics and the main system more than ten years ago seem to have a cooperative relationship."
The part of Him that was imprisoned.
The opponent's skinny body was covered with the power patterns of the main system's rules, and there was no rationality in his eyes.
Considering the time progress of the safe house, the requirements for activating the guild system that were written by the main system ten years ago, and the puzzling self-destructive tendency of the entire game... and, is the long life He spent in the dark void really the correct flow of time?
He was a little disappointed.
I hope that next time we face the Utopia, we can catch a few more mimics so that they don’t have to explore on their own.
In His eyes, the mimics became consumables for memory completion.
Looking up, he met Xu Zhiyan's shocked eyes, and the ghost was in conflict again.
On the one hand, He did not want to make His beloved worry about anything. On the other hand, He wanted to tell Him that they had known each other for a long time in the past and that they had the deepest bond...
Silence stretched in the room for a long time.
After Xu Zhiyan digested all this, he realized that their posture was too ambiguous, as they were almost completely stuck together.
Feeling the warm breath of his own party A hitting his collarbone, he pursed his lips and asked stutteringly: "Yes, yes, you said you came to see me for two things, what's the other one?"
The ghost hugged the man tighter, and the hand that was pinching the young man's waist reached through his clothes, caressing the smooth skin with his fingertips.
"Qu Ji said that the hall will be transformed into a revolving door transfer station, so I plan to give up my seats and the fireplace area. Now I have nowhere to go. Can you take me in? I promise to only take up half of the bed." He made up an excuse.
"If you don't take me in, I'll have to live with the monsters in the monster room..."
The ghost's words were particularly pitiful.
Xu Zhiyan's ears turned red as he listened.
Damn it, he must have been blind before to think that Bai Jin was a silent, cold, lonely old vase, but now it seems that this guy has a lot of tricks.
"If you want to live here, just move in. Don't scare other monsters!"
Xu Zhiyan stared at the other party and spoke fiercely.
Those are his cash cows, what should he do if he gets scared?
